Alex Jones, among many other speakers, riling up the Trump mob to attack the Capitol and install Trump as dictator
  • They get away with it because they're loud and the rest of us largely are not. Moreover, the majority don't take this seriously, and haven't for years, not until recently. It's not just the courts, it's also on us. I like to use COVID as an example: Anti-Vaccine and no-maskers ran rampant. For the most part we did nothing. There's always going to be danger. It's always gonna suck.

    This has been slowly changing. I just fear it's too late.

  • How do I... Do court? I didn't realize my license was expired and got pulled over. Now I have court tomorrow.
  • Two final things: If you do accidentally speak over the judge apologize and admit your mistake.

    On that same vein, be honest, especially with simple responses. We hear mostly about the bad judges in the system. Reality is most are fine and will treat you fairly, if you treat them and the court with respect.

  • The water has waves!
  • Wave Race!

    I remember I somehow owned a Gameshark at one point and figured out how to add in Turbo and Big Head mode. I also dimly remember the title music for the game, which was awesome.

  • Anon is a collector
  • Used to move a LOT. Had a gallon bucket of various rocks and rock-like oddities I had collected from various places, about 3/4 full. Mom dumped it during one move.

    I still miss my old collection.

  • [meme] reason for bike commuting
  • Some time ago I was standing chatting next to my vehicle in a parking lot. This was in college. About 50-60ft away was one of the lot entrances. Not too steep, though one of those that will catch a lower car if it doesn't come in carefully. Anyway, in comes screaming a Lamborghini. The very expensive sound the bottom of that car made still makes me wish I was recording. Could've turned it into my morning alarm.

    I like to think me bursting out laughing still haunts the driver to this day.

  • The Internet Archive is under attack, with a popup claiming a ‘catastrophic’ breach
  • State actors? Maybe.

    It's a bit tinhatty, though I'm betting on something akin to corporate espionage pointed at the Internet Archive.

    Could just be a 14 year old kid with a bit of talent too. Wouldn't be the first time.

  • Greta Thunberg is declared a violent participant for her pro Palestine demonstrations.
  • That's not how this works. This is assuming it was premeditated, planned, they went in to become violent. This in no way means she is or may become violent herself. Especially when we have to assume any protest has at least one or two rabble-rousers.

  • My ship threw my bags out the window and left me
  • It would have been fine. Just tie it into the story. Shiny electronics, fancy modules, buggy code and lowballed software coding.

    "Captain, the system seems to be experiencing... I'm sorry, Captain, your luggage was just ejected into the upper atmosphere..."

    QUEST: System Shocked

    Find the bug in the system. Bring your flyswatter. A BIG flyswatter.

    Serious graphics and a fun game design set in a universe that feels serious with an underlining of sillyness.

  • Biden warns Hurricane Milton could be worst storm to hit Florida in 100 years
  • 100 years? Careful, last time someone made that claim we had maskless idiots injecting literal poison into themselves while claiming a life saving shot causes autism.

    "Don't listen to Biden or the BlueMAGA! If you leave they will take your homes and your land. This "Hurricane" is caused by them! Don't run!"

    sigh

  • Mexican mayor murdered days after starting job
  • I know this is satire, though it was my understanding that tourists were protected. Like, don't walk down any dark alleys and listen when someone strongly tells you to go somewhere else, otherwise you're reasonably safe. This was a couple years ago though, and I may be remembering things wholly wrong.

    I question those years, man.

  • Let's do something and help each other.
  • You seem to think change happens in a vacuum and that at no stage has anyone attempted to stand in front of the things that have helped millions.

    On one hand you have the Right who wish harm on an honestly cartoonish scale. Like, it's difficult to fathom just how much suffering they want to cause others without somehow doing mental gymnastics to wrap your mind around it. They are the cartoon evil villains at the top, while towards the bottom are amongst the poorest, least educated, and angriest people. The vast majority of whom have been living under Republican leadership for generations.

    On the other you have a flawed group composed of many different groups whose opinions largely intersect, though often with key differences. Some of them wish harm on others, that is inevitable, though by magnitudes less than the Right. Many of them just want life to be better, and the rest want life to be better for all, including those on the Right. The States traditionally under the Left's leadership have higher quality of life in every measurable aspect, and greater access to institutions who can help them.

    You talk about the smaller steps the Left takes while completely ignoring the small steps the Right has taken leading up to this. A gradual decline decades in the making. We CAN fix it, and we could use the help of those who want to be heard. All we ask is to help us win this election and then be the voices that help push that positive change after the election.
